IF then statement plus wildcard???

[zishan876]

Hi:
I have the following:

if (cas.Difference__c == "-1:0-1:0-10:00:000")
//
{
cas.Difference__c ="0"
}

Basically cas.Difference__c can be -1:0-1:0-22:00:000 or -1:0-1:0-37:00:000 ... and I want to so that I can do an wildcard like
if (cas.Difference__c == "-1:0-1:0-"+'*'")
But it is not working... Anyone know how to fix this...
Thanks

How about this:

if(cas.Difference__c.indexOf("-1:0-1:0-") == 0)

You are awesome... Thank you
that did work...
One more thing do you know how to format this for example:
instead of 0:01:15:00:000 I would want 01:15 and all...
But thanks

I'd probably split the string on the colon and then concatenate the pieces I want back together.
